“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity
“I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos, without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world: my own government.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity
“I hope the church as a whole will meet the challenge of this decisive hour.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity #BeLove
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” #MLK #MLKDay
“The time has come for an all-out world war against poverty. The rich nations must use their vast resources of wealth to develop the underdeveloped, school the unschooled, and feed the unfed. Ultimately, a great nation is a compassionate nation.” #MLK #MLKDay #CorettaScottKing
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” #MLK #MLKDay
“We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself. We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity #BeLove
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity #BeLove
“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” #MLK #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity #BeLove
